To keep up a whole story in first person, you would have to create ways for all the information to be revealed. Also, you only see what that character sees.<br /><br />Welcome Laura! I agree with you when you say learning a new thing can be exhausting, but also fun. <br /><br />I'm trying new things because I tend to want to stay in my comfort zone and this is my way of breaking out.Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-7762618531551163362012-01-30T22:20:47.246-08:002012-01-30T22:20:47.246-08:00It is such a learning experience to try new things...It is such a learning experience to try new things in writing! Exhausting, sometimes, but I have a lot of fun experimenting and seeing how things turn out and how my writing grows. I've written third person and first person, and I honestly don't know if I can say which is my favorite. They each have their own challenges and their own comforts.Laura Josephsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239501665574945313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-91221193679352010072012-01-30T14:32:07.984-08:002012-01-30T14:32:07.984-08:00I always pick 3rd person for a novel.

But, I will finish this short story with best intentions, in first person POV and then re-write it into third person to see it expand and open up to the rest of the characters. It's been an interesting challenge!Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-13874598535382647862012-01-30T12:33:06.342-08:002012-01-30T12:33:06.342-08:00I need to write in the Third Person POV simply bec...I need to write in the Third Person POV simply because I have a number of characters, good and bad, involved and using First Person isn't practical. I tried a few sections on my original draft and it was awkward and clumsy. So Third Person works better for my series.<br /><br />And thanks for your insightful comment at The Wistful Nebulae! I use greed in the series to help drive the conflict forward.

I think the first time you try something you might not be very proficient at it, but practice make perfect!<br /><br />The biggest problem is finding a good story to write about!Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880009964581841972.post-46750316988272299412012-01-29T17:28:31.867-08:002012-01-29T17:28:31.867-08:00Oh, what great quotes.

I did it in a new, loose and fun way that was not my usual style. I had a brief panic... what if I ruin it??!! But it was exhilarating and fun and scary and joyful, all at the same time.<br /><br />Have fun adding this new skill to your writers tool kit.<br /><br />RettaRettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.com
